Liverpool’s Christmas Market 2021 starts today but in a new location

Liverpool shoppers can start to get into the festive spirit with the city’s popular Christmas Marketing 2021 open for business from Friday.

COVID-19 restrictions mean the city missed out on the festive fete in 2020.

Now in slightly different location at St John’s Gardens, William Brown Street and the area around the North Entrance of St George’s Hall, the market will be open every day from Friday, 12 November, to Thursday, 23 December.

It will be packed with a range of food and drink, including Yorkshire pudding wraps, German sausages, dipped pretzels, crêpes and hot chocolate.

There will also be a variety of themed bars including an Alpine Lodge complete with ‘karaoke cable cars’.

Visitors can try a selection of German beers or hot cider at a new Bavarian bar.

Shoppers looking for the perfect gift will find personalised decorations, glass baubles, photo prints and jewellery.

Kids can enjoy Santa’s Village with its variety of festive rides including a big wheel and a giant Bavarian snow slide.

Liverpool City Council said that the Christmas markets will be accessible from lower and upper William Brown Street and via St Johns Lane.

Cabinet Member for Culture and Visitor Economy, Councillor Harry Doyle, said: “After the disappointment of not being able to host any Christmas markets in 2020, teams across the city council have been working behind the scenes for a number of months to look at bringing back some Christmas cheer to the city centre.”

The market will be open Sunday to Wednesday from 11:00 to 21:00 and Thursday to Saturday from 11:00 to 22:00.
